This morning we share more deets about this week's power play and a glimpse at the new normal in Kansas City.
Moreover, the debate over energy production is important for the metro and a welcomed distraction from the INEVITABLE rate hike that's coming either way.
Check the links as power companies have been giving compliant newseis the runaround with a back and forth on announcements all week . . .

AOC and D卐M☭CRATs are creating jobs!!! They want to pay us $15.00 an hour to tilt at the windmills and solar panels that are made in China!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks China Joe!!!!!
WELCOME TO PERVY JOES WORLD!
ReplyDeleteNO GUNS NO FOOD NO HEAT NO LIFE
ReplyDeleteSOUNDS LIKE A DICTATOR NOT A PRESIDENT
ReplyDeleteITS TIME TO HOLD PERVY POLITICAL ELITES ACCOUNTABLE
ReplyDeleteKCMO would be shut down if they turned off the power to the trolley.
ReplyDeleteFULL DISCLOSURE LACKING FROM EVERGY.
ReplyDeletePolitics and optics again control (OMIT) why we in the Kansas City metro are apart of this circus. The Southwest Power Pool formed in 2018 now controls our fate whether that is good or bad. We have adequate resources locally, but are committed to share our resources with ill-fated communities sometimes states away whether there shortfalls are of there own doing (political, business incompetence) or natural disasters or both. THE SPECIFICS NEEDS TO BE FULLY EXPLAINED, DAMN THE POLITICS OR OPTICS!

7:16 While we agree, the idea that the Dems will ever tell the truth about their corruption is stupid they never will.
ReplyDeleteMaybe John Durham is indicting conspirators right now.
Everything is rigged against the middle class.
We all know what we'll have to use the next stimulus check for when the energy bills come due.
ReplyDeleteCongratulate me! I was just named Non-Essential Employee of the Month for the 48th year in a row!
ReplyDeleteI thought we would be smarter than this by now. WTF?
ReplyDelete^^Why? You're not.
ReplyDelete7:35 Who are you, a child? Kindergarten at home on zoom today? Get off the internet you little perv.
ReplyDelete^^^And you are still dumber than a box of rocks.
ReplyDelete7:41 Jesus did Pee Wee Herman quit jerking off long enough to get on TKC this morning?
ReplyDelete^^Well, you are here so that answers that question. Next!
ReplyDelete... and yet we are all children, let's all join hands and pray for the children of TKC to grow their brains and sing Kumbaya around a fire this morning.
ReplyDelete...and yet we would rather piss in Chumpy's Fruit Loops.
ReplyDeleteI will be glad when the schools are back in so these little f**ks like 7:35, 7:41, 7:49, 7:55 (prob same little prick) can get back to class and resume eatin boogers for entertainment.
ReplyDelete^^^Projecting again. How quaint!
ReplyDelete@D卐M☭CRATs LIE
ReplyDeleteWhat is your problem? You usually don't get involved in immature back and forth, just an observation.
^^I had Red Bull on my Frosted Flakes.
ReplyDelete^^aren't you a known liar on this blog? Why are you posting? You lie all the time. Go away!
ReplyDeleteYes, @8:26AM was busted yesterday for lying. He can't make a point without resorting to lies. They busted him up over it yesterday. He needs to go away. Nothing worse than a know liar continuing to lie about everything. He has no credibility on this blog anymore.
ReplyDeleteNice and toasty in my corporate jet plus no traffic jams.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy our green energy you stupid peasants !
Regards,
John "Traitor" Kerry (married to the heir of Heinz Foods)
Yes Chumpy 8:27/8:30, you are a known liar on this block with all your democratunderground.com talking points.
ReplyDelete^^Dude...just go away. You're all done here.
ReplyDeleteIf only Dear Leader could play more golf on the taxpayer dime. Then, and only then, would the US electrical grid issues be completely solved. Unfortunately, Texas Republican MAGATS didn’t do a thing to improve their infrastructure. Serves them right. You vote for MAGATS, you suffer the consequences. Tough titties, Texas!
ReplyDeleteAmericans got a Trump border wall instead of an upgraded electrical grid. Does repeatedly shouting MAGA keep the family house warm?
ReplyDeleteCongress got a border fence and failed impeachment instead of handling covid.
ReplyDelete^^More lies from the liar.
ReplyDeleteHow's those ugly windmills and solar panels working out for you Marxist Democrats ? Idiots.
ReplyDeleteBetter than those coal and gas-fired plants! That's for damn sure you ignorant, lying repubturd!
ReplyDeletePower plants aren't ice sculptures.
ReplyDeleteAdding more government will fix it!
ReplyDeleteWASHINGTON — Federal regulators say they are launching an “inquiry” into the operations of the bulk-power system during the severe winter storm that left millions without power in subfreezing temperatures in Texas and other states.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation announced the inquiry Tuesday.
Officials said the immediate emphasis will remain on restoring power to customers and securing the reliability of the bulk-power system, but they will work with other federal agencies, states, regional entities and utilities to identify problems with the performance of the bulk-power system and identify solutions. FERC oversees interstate electricity transmission while NERC oversees reliability standards for the continental U.S., Canada parts of Mexico.
Stupid Democrat Party forcing windmills and solar panels on Americans is causing power outages and Americans freezing to death.
ReplyDeleteThanks Democrat Party !
You idiots !!
^^and yet it was the iced up coal and natural gas plants with frozen instruments. Who knew that Texas gets 88% of it's power from non-renewables. Oh that's right..everyone!!! Weird
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteKC could definitely use a "blackout"!
kick all the blacks out!
crime goes down 83% !!
^^yes...then do the geezers and overall happiness goes up 100%!
ReplyDeletehttps://theconservativetreehouse.com/2021/02/16/up-to-4-million-texans-without-power-as-electricity-grid-collapses-and-wind-turbines-fail/
ReplyDelete^^ whoa Chimpy! Beijing Bidet is 78 yrs old! you want your geezer hero to croak?
ReplyDelete@11:10 go back to parlor. Nobody's buying your shit. You're an admitted liar.
ReplyDeleteThis is the result of altering basic economic calculations by heavily subsidizing unreliable power generation technology like wind and solar. When it inevitably fails there is not enough baseline capacity left in the system to keep it from collapsing.
ReplyDelete^^and yet gas and coal failed this time. Texas didn't install de-icers on their turbines like the rest of the world did. Weird.
ReplyDeleteYour statement just shows your ignorance on this subject.
DeleteOf the whole of spcc or whatever group that is 31% is their power comes from wind, the majority of power generation in their group. From what their spokesbabe said the other morning, they were only getting 8% from their wind. So yes the blame falls squarely on their blind posturing for s'posed green power. Why the fvck we're supporting their initiatives i don't know. They are a net user, we are and have been net producers
DeleteTexas, Missouri, Kansas the United States never had a nationwide power failure until now as a result of the Democrat Party's idiotic green policy of windmills and solar panels manufactured in Communist China.
ReplyDeleteThe pollution of the Chines plants manufacturing the windmills and solar panels are ten times more toxic than natural gas.
Yep @1:22, that's the dirty little secret they want to keep hush hush about. Their panels can only be manufactured from rare materials that literally require a gigantic gash across the face of the earth that they can rape. But hey, it produces the progressive wet dream of solar panels so any thing else is just collateral damage
DeleteThe rolling blackouts actually increased demand as everyone with a brain turned their thermostat up immediately.
ReplyDelete@1:22Pm and yet the green deal isn't law, hasn't been implemented and is not in use. You're either ignorant or willfully stupid. Either way, go to Parlor. They tolerate lying scumbags like you. You're too dumb to post here. Bye bye CHUD.
ReplyDeleteThe pollution of the Chines plants manufacturing the windmills and solar panels are ten times more toxic than natural gas AND John Kerry's Corporate Jet.
ReplyDeleteThank you Emanual Cleaver, Nazi Peloskank, idiot in chief Biden, BHO-zo. You all created this with your 8 years of terror on America. Now we get to reap the benefit of your FAILED liberal policies. Nazi wouldnt even talk infastructure with President Trump. She knew this would bite her.
